Three distinct requirements and three distinct design responses within a single project make the refurbishment of RPG group headquarters at Mumbai unusual and exciting. The reception area extends the traditional Indian architectural character of the building exterior by adding more detail and variety in use of local materials and crafts in a modern context. The training space in the basement has a minimal; Zen like feel that aids contemplative learning. The recreation area for the employees takes inspiration from the pristine white vernacular feel of Greek island architecture and the layout follows the natural unstructured character of these villages.
